Chapter 91 Don’t Blame Me for Being Blunt
In the cramped backseat of the car, Marion’s unabashed words resonated clearly with everyone in the car.
Liam in the front seat, stiffened as he heard Marion’s words. Mrs. Craig sounded so fierce! Was he supposed to be there? Should he find a place to hide?
Even Lucas, accustomed as he was to such situations, was momentarily surprised by Marion’s comment. However, the speaker herself seemed oblivious to the gravity of her words. “It’s outrageous! In broad daylight! How could they, how could they…”

the bed and before he could completely let go, Marion clung to him. Perhaps she was dreaming. Her lips moved however, the words were too soft for Lucas to discern.
With Marion draped over him, her lips brushed against his neck. Lucas stared at her.
The emotions he concealed during the day surged like tumultuous waves, stirring
the air.
